Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club Pavilion
The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club Pavilion is a new focal point for the Sumner community. Functionally well thought out, the building's excellent relationship with the street is balanced on the seaward side by a large timber deck that provides an informal face to the beach. Sloping walls, angled soffits and curving roofs can be interpreted as waves within the building's forms. The combination of cedar weatherboards, which will weather naturally and blend the structure with the natural environment, and precast concrete panels, which respond to the urban street frontage, creates a balanced aesthetic that is wholly appropriate to the context.
